Chapter 10 V1.1

*************************************************************

The complete Masaki clan were standing in line waiting for

the Royal's to appear.

Both them was the massive tree ship of Azusa's 'Kirito'

which had been joined by Funaho & Misaki's twin tree ship

'Mizuho' & 'Karin'.

Tenchi and Ayeka stood side by side next to them was Sasami

with Ryo-ohki. Then came Yosho and Nobuyuki. Next to him was

Mihoshi then Washu and Ryoko who was already looking board.

Tenchi looked at Ayeka seeing that she was a nevus he took

her hand in his and held it. Ayeka looked up to Tenchi and

smiled at him. Sasami notice this and giggled.

Just then three light's descend down from the ships. In the

blink of an eye there stood Funaho Misaki and Azusa.

Misaki spotted Sasami and started to run towards her with

both arms starched out ready to sweep the little princess up.

"My Little Sasami!"

"My Mommy!"

Misaki then engulfed Sasami in one of Misaki's famous hugs.

Mean time Funaho had spotted that Tenchi & Ayeka were holding

hands and that Ryoko was at the other end of the group she

smiled then turned to her Husband to say.

"Well, Dear look's like you lost the bet" She said with her

hand out.

Azusa who had also notice the pair as well sighed and handed

over a large number of bills too Funaho.

"I wonder what that was about?" Tenchi asked Ayeka.

Before Ayeka could reply they heard a cry from Misaki they

turned to see that Sasami had just said something to her

Mother.

"IS THAT TRUE!!" Said Misaki, Sasami nodded her head and

started to giggle.

"I think Sasami has let the cat out of the bag" was all Ayeka

could say before her Mother was right in front of the pair

her eye's were large and shaped like hearts. She was also

crying tears of joy.

(Oh dear!) Was all Tenchi & Ayeka could say before they were

both swept up by Masaki.

"LITTLE AYEKA! TENCHI! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU TWO!" She

continued to hug the pair for around 5 Min's before letting

go. They both landed on the ground gasping for air.

Ryoko had watched this happen she could not keep it in any

longer she bust out laughing.

"Don't worry Ryoko i have not forgotten you!" Ryoko released

that Misaki was right in front of her. Quickly looking round

she noticed that the other's had backed away from her.

"Eep!" Was all she could say as she was tackled by Misaki.

As Misaki was hugging poor Ryoko to death Funaho walked over

to the pair who had just got to there feat.

"I am happy to see you too are doing well"

"Thank you Mother Funaho. May i ask why Father handed you

that money?" Ask Ayeka.

"Well your Father and i had a bet on who would end up with

Lord Tenchi" Replied Funaho.

"Are you telling me my own Father bet against me! His own

daughter!!" Ayeka looked over to were her Father stood.

"Father how could you!" With that she looked away from him.

Azusa who had yet said a word just looked bemused at what was

happening in front of him. His only thought as he sighed that

this would be a long vacation.

Yosho walked up to greet his Mother.

"Hello Mother i hope you are well" Said Yosho as he bowed

"Yosho my son i see you are still acting like an old man?"

Yosho looked up in panic at his Mother's words.

"What do you mean Funaho?" Asked a confused Ayeka.

"It's nothing Ayeka really" Said Yosho before is Mother spoke

again.

"Come on Grandpa i think it's time to show your 'real' self"

Said Tenchi with an evil grin on his face.

(Betrayed by my own Grandson!)

"I have been wondering too when you were going to give up the

old man routine Yosho" Said Washu who had joined them.

"Miss Washu how?"

"Did i know? Well i am not the genius in the universe for

nothing you know"

"What is everybody talking about?" Ask a confused Nobuyuki.

"I think it is time i stopped hiding" With a blink of an eye

the old shine priest turned in to the young Yosho.

Gasps were heard from Ayeka Nobuyuki & Mihoshi, Ryoko who had

finally got away from Misaki the sight of the 'young'

Yosho brought back bad memories.

And as for Ayeka well Ayeka didn't know what to think. She

was angry that her brother had hiding his true form. She was

also angry that it seemed Tenchi had found out about his

Grandfather.

Now she had Tenchi someone she had truly falling in love

with. But with Yosho she had released that she only

loved him like a sister would for a brother just like she

love her sister Sasami.

But she was not going to let him off that easy!.

With a wicked grin and coldly said. "Brother i am glad to see

that you have not aged but when i have finished with you

trust me you will fell old!!" With that Ayeka took of her

tiara.

Yosho knew what was coming and could only start to back away

from his younger sister.

"Now Ayeka don't do anything foolish"

It was too late Ayeka had already called the LightHawk Wings

and had formed the LightHawk Armor and staff.

Azusa who had finally joined the others as well as Misaki and

Ryoko as they watched Yosho benign chanced by Ayeka around

the lake.

"Well, It seems she knows about her powers now" Said Azusa to

Misaki as he handed her a large number of bills.

Funaho & Misaki looked at each other and smiled.

"Like robbing candy from a baby" said Misaki with a wide

smile. As Azusa just huffed as he watched his wife's.

Soon everybody started to go inside the house only Tenchi

said out side as he tried to stop Ayeka chasing Yosho around

the lake. As the group entered the house there was a beeping

sound everybody looked round to see were it was coming from.

"Hey Mihoshi isn't that your com watch" said Ryoko.

"Oh my yes" She then looked at the com watch.

"Oh no its a top priority message i must leave at once" she

then wiped out her com cube and started to twist it, soon she

was into her GP uniform.

"I am so sorry i have to leave so soon after you all just got

here" She said to the Royal's as she bowed.

"That's quiet all right officer Mihoshi your duty comes

first" replied Funaho.

"I be back soon" called Mihoshi as she ran towards the end of

the dock twisting her cube soon Yukinojo shuttle was rocking

in to the sky.

"There she goes" said Washu.

"Washu did you install that program so Yukinojo can land its

self?" Ask Sasami.

"Arghhh!! Dam it i forgot!" Said Washu as she banged her head

against the wall.

"There, there little Washu" Said Sasami as she tried to

comfit Washu.

"This is going to be an interesting vacation right Sister"

Said Funaho to Misaki who was watching Tenchi who was now

chasing after Ayeka to get her to stop chasing Yosho she

turned a smiled.

"Yes, Sister very interesting" she turned back in time to

watch Ayeka knock Yosho in to the sky then land in the lake.

Azusa was starting to wonder just what he had let himself in

for.

*************************************************************

Later that day we find Sasami Misaki Ryo-ohki and Ryoko who

was on chopping duty in the kitchen. Mean time Washu was in

her lab and Ayeka and Funaho had gone to the Onsen.

As for the men of the house they sat at the table drinking

tea. Not one of them had said a word scene they had sat down,

Yosho was the first to talk.

"So Father what news do you bring us from the Holy Council?"

Said Yosho who was doing a good impression of a mummy after

Ayeka had finished with him.

"Nothing much of real interest" Was all Azusa said.

A couple of minutes went by before someone else spoke it was

Nobuyuki.

"The weather must be nice this time of year on Jurai?" He

said in a nevus voice to the King of Jurai.

"Yes, it is" was all he said.

Tenchi Yosho and Nobuyuki all had big sweat drops on there

heads.

*************************************************************

Mean time Ayeka & Funaho were sitting in the warm waters of

the Onsen.

"I must say Ryoko did a fine job making this bath's"

commented Funaho.

"Yes it was the one thing that impressed me about her. She

does now how to relax which she does allot!" Replied Ayeka.

Funaho smiled at Ayeka's reply she had for a long-time

considered that she and Ayeka had a close bond like Mother

and a daughter even know she was Misaki's little girl she and

Ayeka had grown close over the early years even more so after

the birth of Sasami.

"Ayeka may i ask how far you have gone with lord Tenchi?"

A very red Ayeka shot up to say "What do you mean how far!!"

"I mean have you two been to bed with each other" She said

with a devilish grin.

Ayeka sat down still red as a tomato she started to poke her

fingers together.

"Oh no! Nothing like that at all. Lord Tenchi is not that

type of man" she replied.

"He is a man is he not?"

"Really now he only confess his love to me resonantly" She

how had her hands on her face looking of dreamy.

"Is that so?" Ayeka nodded in reply.

"So how did you find out that you had the power to use the

LightHawk Wings?"

Ayeka went in to great detail about what Tsunami then what

happened early that day when training.

"Well, I must say that things are happening around her

quickly" Said Funaho.

"Yes, i just hope it things will settle down now" Said Ayeka

as she leaned back in the warm waters.

"I wouldn't get your hopes up just yet Ayeka"

"Why do you say that?" Ask Ayeka.

"You will find out after dinner tonight but lets just say it

has to do with Tenchi" With that Funaho got up to leave the

Onsen.

"What do you mean?" Ask Ayeka as she started to follow.

"You and everybody else will find out later now lets go i

should think your Mother and Sister will have dinner ready

soon.

Knowing she was not going to get anymore answers from her

Ayeka followed Funaho to the changing room.

*************************************************************

Soon everybody had sat down to dinner Washu had made a bigger

table so everybody could sit-down.

After about an hour everybody had stuffed them self's full.

"My that was one of the best meals i have had in a long time"

said Yosho.

"Oh yes it beats take away any day of the week" added

Nobuyuki.

"It was great thank you Misaki Sasami you to Ryo-ohki Ryoko"

Said Tenchi.

Misaki Sasami Ryo-ohki and Ryoko all had red cheeks.

Soon everybody was about to get up to leave the table but

were stopped by a loud cough from Funaho.

"Please could everybody stay seated as my darling Husband has

something he wishes to say.

"Oh yes i almost forgot! I can't wait to hear this" said

Misaki.

"Do i really have to do this?" Ask Azusa to his wife Funaho.

"Yes, as the ruler of Jurai it is your job to tell him!" She

said back.

"Tell who?" Asked Tenchi.

Azusa composed him self before speaking.

"Tenchi as my son has passed on the roll of first prince of

Jurai to you the Holy Council have ask that when we return to

Jurai that you join us so that they can met you in person"

Gasps came from around the table but before anyone could

speak Azusa put his hand up.

"They also wish to present you to the Royal tree's in the

Royal nursery to see if any off them will bond with you" With

that he sat back down.

Everybody looked over too were Tenchi sat next to Ayeka he

had a blank look on is face.

"Tenchi? Are you ok?" Ask Ayeka as she waved her hand i front

of his face.

"Lights are on but nobody at home" Said Ryoko she then poked

him on the forehead he fell flat on his back.

"TENCHI!!!" Ayeka screamed.

"I guest the news was a little to much for him" Said Washu.

"Yes, indeed" Was all Yosho could say as he watch Ayeka

trying to wake up Tenchi with a fan.
